A woman involved in a domestic dispute pulled a gun on her alleged
attacker Wednesday afternoon and shot at him at least eight times.
No one was injured by the gunfire, but the woman was taken to the
hospital with injuries suffered before the shooting, according to police
Sgt. Evaristo Diaz.
Gunshots rang out about 1:30 p.m. in the 200 block of East 37th Street,
causing residents to scramble to their phones to call 911.
Preliminary investigations revealed the woman suffered a head wound
during a domestic dispute. She then shot at the man, who fled the scene,
Diaz said.
Police combed the area in the aftermath of the incident looking for
shell casings. They recovered eight by 2 p.m., Diaz said.
